It might help if you actually read before commenting
and i've asked you what the hell money are you on about ,the article does not mention any money being spent it talks about money being earned from the olympic investment ,so if that is the money you are on about then you missed the boat because that investment is now earning us 11billion a year ,or maybe you would have preferred no investment just ploughing the money into benefits

I don't think they lost money on the tickets ,the problem with the tickets was the allocation ,they where still paid for and if retailers can't capitalise on an event as big as the Olympics then that is there problem
